Escherichia coli is commonly found in the intestines of cattle and can contaminate ground beef during processing. It is important to ensure that ground beef is cooked to the appropriate temperature to kill any potential E. coli bacteria. Sausage and soft cheeses may also present a risk for bacterial contamination, but milk products are usually pasteurized to kill any harmful bacteria.
